Madonna, not just the queen of pop.
Review of Evita - Madonna by
rabbitfighter
Advantages: Lots of emotions and antonios Banderas voice
Disadvantages: Mostly slow songs, some depressing
This soundtrack and film shows a surprising amount of vocal talent for crowned quuen of pop. I have always been a fan but this is the other end of the spectrum formher usuall `holiday` and `whose that girl` days.
Maddona shows that she can act a powerful role and hold a powerful and emotional tune which does Andrew Lloyd Webber proud.
Every song is full of emotion, songs such as `you must love me`, another suitcase another hall and the classic ... ...get wrapped up inthe emotion and feel the triumph but sadness of the charecters.
There is the slightly depressing `requiem for evita' but completely fitting for the film.
We also have a sample of the lovely Antonia Banderas voice in ` oh what a circus, which he carries of with his lovely ancent, and makes a change from the other slow down beat songs.
The albulm is full of well written songs which forms a well fiting soundtrack for the film. ...

Beautiful and melancholy.
Review of Amelie - Original Soundtrack by
AnyaET
Advantages: beautiful piano, wonderful soundtrack to the movie
Disadvantages: none for me!
Amélie is one of the most beautiful and uplifting films of recent times, and it soundtrack reflects that perfectly. This album has been on my favourites playlist since the second I heard it; certain tracks, such as Comptine d'un autre été - L'après-midi and of course the main theme, La valse d'Amélie (particularly the piano version) make my breath catch in my throat. Though it is the melancholy piano tracks that stick out for me, there's an eclectic ... ...accordion, which makes some tracks curiously joyous and makes the whole album very distinctly French - as it should be.
If you love Amélie, you could not fail to love this album, as it immediately summons up the spirit of the film. But even if you are unfamiliar with it, it might be worth a look; the piano tracks alone might persuade you to watch it, and if you love French music it is sure to be a pleasure. ...

LOVE IT. HOT HOT HOT
Review of Step Up 2 The Streets - Various Artists by
gaetana
Advantages: Dancing
Disadvantages: No organized plot
WOW love this DVD cannot get enough of it. It's quite different to the first though.More dancing, BETTER dancing. I was watching this with my sister and my friends I just can't get enough of it. It's one to watch if you're either at home with friends or partner. If you like films such as Oceans eleven and thrteen then you'll love this. Though the dacing is good, wait no good is an under statement it's FABULOUS but it's got no organised story plot ... ...Definitely one to watch. It's aimed at teenagers more than grown adults.
I would most definitely recommend this to any on to watch either on a night in.
all in all i love it for me the film is the one of the most compared to 'save the last dance'. ...

Dubstep dramatics
Review of Dubstep Drama - Various Artists by
mistersnowman
Advantages: Classic dubstep tracks featured
Disadvantages: not purely dubstep
...as maniac and wiley and dubstep artists like skream and benga.
This is a nice chilled out album thats a good listen.
doesnt really represent dubstep as a unique sound very well as it still has grime elements on the cd but never the less the two genres are closely in twinned a purchase for any urban fan ...

Wicked Musical!
Review of Wicked - Various Artists by
charly148
Advantages: brilliant songs, singing!
Disadvantages: you want to see it again and again!
...boyfriend took me to see Wicked as an early Christmas present last year and I have to say it was one of the best Christmas presents ever. I didnt really know what to expect and from the moment it started I was blown away. The singing and the music is just incredible and the story is moving as well. I would definitely recommend for anyone, even those who dont like the ideas of musicals to go and see this. The story links well with the Wizard of Oz ... ...tell her story about the wicked witch as it turns out she used to be friends with her. It then goes back in time and shows how the wicked witch was born and what happened to her and then goes to college and meets Glinda. The story then goes on to tell how the wicked witch wants to meet the wizard of oz and her journey to meeting him. I dont want to give too much away, as I think everyone should go to see this and see the story unfold for themselves. ...
